Our Churches

The earliest church in the township was the Presbyterian, founded in about 1807. A church structure was erected soon afterwards at Pricetown, with James Boyd as first pastor and later activities were transferred to Orr’s Corners, but eventually abandoned. The Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1812, services were held at homes and in schoolhouses by circuit riders. Subsequently a church was erected at Baldwin’s Corners, but Methodists in Milton were soon identified with the Milton-Newton church at Pricetown, the building being on the Newton Township side of the line. The Disciples Church was organized in Milton about 1830 and flourished for a generation but finally dissolved.
